Since its founding in 1888, Utah State University has evolved from a small-town college tucked away in the Northern Utah mountains to a thriving research university respected around the world. Students can choose from an array of academic and social opportunities at a university known throughout the world for its intellectual and technological leadership. The mission of Utah State University (USU) is to be one of the nation's premier student-centered land-grant and space-grant universities by fostering the principle that academics come first, by cultivating diversity of thought and culture and by serving the public through learning, discovery and engagement. More than 160 undergraduate degree programs are offered in the colleges of Agriculture and Applied Sciences, Business, Arts, Education and Human Services, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Natural Resources, Science, and Veterinary Medicine.

Logan is in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah, where students have access to incredible outdoor activities, arts opportunities, and easy driving to ski resorts and several national parks.

Limitations
Enrollment in some courses in aviation, business, computer science, education, engineering, aerospace studies, interior design, and art may be limited. Engineering students should have at least a B-grade average (3.0 GPA), and may need to provide course descriptions in English of previous engineering coursework to demonstrate they meet engineering pre-requisites. Art students may be required to submit a portfolio, and music and theatre students may need to audition. Some colleges on campus charge "differential tuition," which is a surcharge attached to certain classes. More information on differential tuition can be found here: https://www.usu.edu/registrar/tuition/ in the appropriate "Tuition and Fee Schedule" link for the term you are attending. USU will pay an allowance of up to 6 credits of any undergraduate differential tuition for regular exchanges. If a student takes more than 6 credits worth of undergraduate differential tuition, the excess may be the responsibility of the student.
